Vacant job

Besides our castle, people are the most important thing we have at Engsholms Slott! We are a strong team that enjoys and has fun at work every day. Some of us have been here for 35 years, others only a year. What unites us is our passion for people, meetings, the place, and hospitality. To give our guests a wonderful castle experience.

Engsholms Slott is much more than a hotel, conference center, and restaurant. It is a unique destination where we want our guests to feel at home. We who work here are committed to the place, our colleagues, and our visions for the future.

Engsholms Slott is also a workplace that focuses on sustainability – from raw materials and procurement to how we work in the organization. This also places high demands on everyone, and that everyone cares for each other, the place, and our planet.

Here, you should enjoy your tasks, colleagues, and surroundings.

We are now looking for employees who want to work seasonally from May to December in our restaurant, dining room, and conference. If you can work part of the season, this is also of interest.

The Role

The tasks in this position span a wide range. It varies greatly. As a castle employee with primary responsibility for the dining room & conference at Engsholms Slott, you are responsible for the guest's dining experiences, such as morning & afternoon coffee, lunch, dinner (conference & weekend guests), as well as the conference rooms.

The position is divided into several parts.

Dining Room Work for both conference guests, weekend guests, weddings, and events.

Additionally, some bar knowledge and preferably interest/knowledge in wine and other beverages.

Conference

Our largest guest group is conference guests. You organize and furnish the rooms, set the tables, serve morning and afternoon coffee, lunch, and dinner. Clear and clean up after the guests have left.

Weddings, Events & Parties

We create unique experiences for our guests on perhaps their most important day in life.

Other

The castle is your workplace, and there are many lounges and areas that need love and care, as well as a vacuum cleaner now and then.

The position varies depending on the season and guests. Sometimes the focus is on weekdays with conferences, sometimes weekends with celebrating private guests or foreign summer guests. Occasionally, the castle is booked for large parties, events, and weddings. In December, we welcome guests to our homemade Christmas buffet, and in the summer, holidaymakers enjoy the castle, sea, and park or visit our summer café.

As you understand, you need to have the ability and enjoy keeping many balls in the air.

The work is very varied and partially physically demanding.

You must have experience in restaurants and similar tasks or possess good multitasking abilities to handle several tasks simultaneously.

Hospitality is always at the center, and the guest's experience.

You are a problem solver and often need to think outside the “box”.

Structure is also important in this position.

The position is scheduled for day/evening every day of the week.
